Hi everybody. I need urgenlty your help! The Avast Antivirus sent some folders with files to the chest of viruses because they were infected with virus “lnk”. I really need this information. Please help me. Tell me if it is a way to recover that information.
Thank you very much for your answer.

PD Sorry for my bad English. I hope you have understood the situation.
Hello Eddy. Thanks for your answer.
I see that it was impossible to recover my files…I dont have a backup :'( I have found the following but I dont know if it’s a correct way to solve this problem. I send you here: http://ronald-l337.blogspot.com.ar/2012/05/recuperar-archivos-borrados-y-enviados.html
Sorry that it is in Spanish. He recommend to use Linux System instead of Windows to recover the files. He says that he restored the files infected to his G: device and then he deleted all the files with “lnk” extension. In that way he removed the viruses from the files. Finally he recommends using the Gnu-Linux System instead of Windows one.
Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
